B16 final 2018

Ca Barra da Tijuca (BRA) – Nanset IF (NOR) 3-0 (2-0)

’Damage control’ was the headline of what Nanset from Norway was doing in the first half of the final against the very skilled Brazilian players from Ca Barra da Tijuca. While the Brazilians enjoyed themselves, the Norwegian players tried to limit the damage that Ca Barra da Tijuca had caused after just four minutes of play when they scored. Quick and beautiful passes resulted in the first goal of the game and a few seconds before the end of the first half they scored again. They easily ran past the Norwegian defenders and, calmly, they scored once more.

In the second half the recipe was a little bit different. Accordingly, Ca Barra da Tijuca scored a stunning long-range goal. However, credit to Nanset for not giving up. The Norwegian boys fought well, but the Brazilian players were simply too good.
